Chapter 2203: Grand Opening Lavish Guest Reward

Wang Yu and this elder locked eyes, both flashing a hint of embarrassment in their eyes.

Meeting like this within the family, everyone knows full well it's just about coming back to get money.

He gave an embarrassed smile; regarding this, Wang Yu didn't press further, merely nodded and said.

"I've finished my business, I'm heading back first—don't waste your time."

"Family head, you know my wife—if you could spare me some................"

"Don't even think about it, I'm leaving."

Before the elder could finish speaking, Wang Yu directly interrupted.

"Borrow immortal crystals? Impossible, absolutely impossible—if you have no money, don't eat."

Watching Wang Yu stride away, the elder's mouth twitched slightly, and he eventually turned and left.

He has returned home and still hasn't figured out how to tell his spouse, after all, Ye Zhangqing's place is truly expensive.

People like Wang Yu and those from the major powers all rushed home to get money.

Meanwhile, inside Wuji Xiancheng, after resting a day, Ye Zhangqing hurried to the canteen early the next morning.

Since the current task is to make money, to make money wildly, we can no longer leave things to chance as before; we must also employ the necessary measures.

However, for Ye Zhangqing, who has lived two lives, this is no difficulty; he had already worked out a solution.

In the rear courtyard, after hearing Ye Zhangqing's instructions, the maidens exchanged odd looks and muttered softly.

"Grand Opening Lavish Guest Reward?"

"What the hell is this? After running this restaurant for so many years, I've never heard of such an operation."

"It's somewhat vague, yet it sounds pretty impressive."

Ye Zhangqing's plan is simple: just issue cards.

The canteen has just opened; to repay the many patrons, it has launched a limited‑time card‑top‑up promotion.

Top up 100,000 immortal crystals and receive 10,000 extra; 200,000 gives 20,000; 300,000 gives 30,000; and so on.

Moreover, topping up over one million immortal crystals grants a chance to order a custom dish—no more than four dishes and one soup, with free choice of dishes.

This is absolutely highly tempting.

But the starting point is 100,000 immortal crystals—yesterday many maidens advised Ye Zhangqing to lower the price a bit, and today it's gone up?

No, saying it's a price hike doesn't seem right either, but something still feels off.

He didn't care whether the maidens understood, and Ye Zhangqing waved his hand.

"Just follow what I said earlier—go get ready."

"Yes."

At mealtime, a huge Formation Light Curtain appeared outside the canteen, displaying the details of the card‑top‑up promotion.

Naturally, this sight attracted many passersby.

But after reading the content on the curtain, many sucked in a breath of cold air, and upon seeing the interior décor, they couldn't help but complain wildly.

"Hiss, is the shop owner crazy?"

"Right, when did Cuiyun Residence become the canteen?"

"You haven't been in the city lately, have you? It changed a few days ago."

"Starting at 100,000 immortal crystals, this shopkeeper must be money‑crazy—who would go?"

"Exactly—with 100,000 immortal crystals I could buy elixirs for cultivation; why waste it on these frills?"

Many scoffed at it—nothing else, it's just too expensive.

With a starting point of 100,000 immortal crystals, how many people can actually afford it?

It's not that people lack 100,000 immortal crystals; on the contrary, quite a few in Wuji Xiancheng have that amount.

After all, without some strength, no one dares come to Wuji Xiancheng seeking opportunity.

But the problem is that it's one's net worth—who would spend their entire fortune on a single meal?

Especially since they haven't tasted Ye Zhangqing's cooking, they'd just think the shop owner is crazy.

Yet amidst the crowd's wild complaints, the two loose cultivators who had eaten there the day before remained silent.

The two exchanged a glance, and one of them spoke.

"Getting 10,000 extra immortal crystals on a 100,000 top‑up is basically a free bowl of rice."

"It seems like a profit."

"Huh???"

Although their voices were low, everyone being cultivators still heard them from nearby.

Upon hearing this, several nearby people turned their heads, giving the two a strange look as if they'd seen a ghost.

"Listen to what you're saying—what does it mean that 100,000 immortal crystals 'seem like a profit'?"

"Are you two brain‑damaged? Smashing 100,000 immortal crystals into a restaurant and calling that a profit?"

"I don't understand—I can't understand at all."

But those two loose cultivators simply didn't care; these people haven't tasted Ye Zhangqing's cooking and have no idea how heavenly it is.

The day before, the two had already spent tens of thousands of immortal crystals, using up all they carried.

Yet after returning, they still couldn't forget the meal's flavor—so, though the shop was closed yesterday, today they inexplicably came back.

Then, seeing the announcement of the Grand Opening Lavish Guest Reward on the Formation Light Curtain, both couldn't help but brighten up.

"But we have no immortal crystals left."

But soon the two ran into a problem: although they genuinely felt they'd profited, they'd gained a 10,000‑immortal‑crystal advantage.

But the problem is they have no immortal crystals on hand now; even pooling together, they likely couldn't scrape together a thousand, let alone 100,000.

They need to think of a way to make money.

How about we go to Wuji Shanmai and try our luck? The nest of that phoenix eagle before.

One of them remained silent for a long time, finally speaking up; upon hearing that, the other did not immediately answer but fell into silence, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Indeed, there are several bird eggs inside that phoenix eagle's nest.

Moreover, phoenix eagle eggs are definitely worth money; each one is worth seventy to eighty thousand immortal crystals.

But the problem is that the phoenix eagle is not only ferocious by nature, but also contains a phoenix bloodline in its body, giving it extraordinary strength.

That phoenix eagle's cultivation is comparable to that of a Human Race Immortal Emperor Realm; the two of them previously dared not provoke it.

This endeavor is too risky; one careless move could cost one's life.

Seeing this person deep in thought, the companion whispered.

"We seek wealth amidst danger; moreover, it's not that there's no opportunity. At that time I'll lure that beast away, and you seize the chance to take those few bird eggs."

Huh???

Upon hearing that, this person glanced at the other, with a complex gaze, and slowly said.

"Can you do it?"

"You forgot that I specialize in body techniques; escaping should be no problem—just you need to be quick with your hands and feet, I estimate I won't be detained for long."

Under the companion's patient persuasion, after a moment's thought, this person silently nodded and agreed.

Afterwards, the two squeezed out of the crowd and headed straight for outside the city.

Since the Formation Light Curtain appeared, the opening grand reception event began, and indeed many people gathered outside the Canteen.

Yet no one actually paid to get through, after all the starting price is a hundred thousand immortal crystals; just this condition alone has already dissuaded too many people.

The wealthy are unwilling, while the poor cannot afford it.

Inside the hall, the maidens watching this scene grew somewhat anxious, and someone couldn't help but whisper a complaint.

"I don't know what the lord is thinking; clearly the Chúyì is excellent, if the price could be a bit lower, it would surely be packed."

"Yeah, by then we could push aside San Shi San Lou and become the top tavern—it wouldn't be a dream."
